Bulk e-mail throttling in MS Dynamics CRM 2011

4

I have a requirement to control the frequency of e-mails being sent from MS Dynamics CRM 2011 when distributing a campaign activity (to avoid adverse affects on network performance).

The CRM 2011 instance is integrated with and used pretty much exclusively from within Outlook through the CRM plug-in for the Outlook client (e-mails are tracked etc.).

How can I control the frequency of e-mails being sent as part of bulk e-mail shots (e.g. 500 e-mails with large attachments, limit of sending 100 e-mails per minute)? Does the CRM 2011 e-mail router give more control over this? Can I even use the CRM e-mail router for routing when CRM 2011 is used exclusively through Outlook?

Thanks in advance for your response

The email router does have some more controls built into it regarding send frequency any messages per cycle.
